the changing attitudes of some immigrants

[Ann07]

I live in a small town but still i've seen people like that glad they are not from our town though I just ignore them now and keep on Im still happy most of my fellow filipino here are so nice

Instead of meeting fellow filipino why dont Irene try to entertain british people as her friends. Honestly, i have more british friends than filipino.

Very true sorry but ex pats from all countries often become more proud of where they left.

Many people on here who have longer experience than us and we have noticed, although its a great thing to have phill friends who share common language and background. Its not always wise to get soley involved with the local community. As it can be very lonely when things go wrong.

But luckily I have Lived in an area where I have met people from all over the world. Some pasting though and some who have been here years.
I can honestly say I would not want all my friends from the same background as me.

Luckily Jenn knows most of the Phills in the area, some she gets on with well and others she just nods to.

One thing thou Steve is I have to say i certainly dont want to have every phill waving at us. Just as when im in Phill i dont feel the urge to say hello to every Brit or white person.

Many a time we have had an embrassing situation where both my Wife and another lady have avoided one another in a shop as they both just wanna mind their own business.
I dont seek out white middle class londoners whereever i go and the Missus is the same as me we be polite to who we come across and treat everyone the same.

But I guess living in London maybe its different as people from many backgrounds are there and to make it work people make a concious effort to be the same to all.


One thing I have noticed is many Phills due to being busy with chilldren and work etc. Sometimes try and avoid being to polite as they end up in conversations for ages (I have the same with older folks and what not) you dont wanna be rude but time is thin on the ground. Many also want to invite the missus to vaious meet ups and what have you. Again she simply doesn't have the time.

probably wrong time and wrong place for a chat, when ever i see a Filipino i say to the misses, go and say hello to them, she doesn't thou , but she talks to many Filipinos at work, in the pinoy shop and at school, ones she has something in common with, and not ones who are busy rushing around !

do any whiteys on here, when they see another whitey in the malls in the phils go up to them and start chatting ?, i never have, but I've chatted to whiteys at the airport and while on the plane..

It happened just 3/4 of an hour ago in Tesco....

Jet asks smiling.... "Are you pinay"...?

The other person.... " Yes Thank you".....

And off....

Jet looks at me dumbfounded and says quietly so that I could hear "... Buang..."
